Just use the Pythagorean Theorem. A^2+B^2=C^2. Let the shortest side be have length A=x. Then the next shortest is B=(x+3), and the hypotenuse is C=(x+6). Insert these into the equation, and solve for x. You will get x=9 (or, x=-3, which you can throw out, because it doesn't make sense). So, the three side lengths are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm

How do you find perpendicular of right angle triangle?
It is the angle opposite the hypotenuse which measures 90 degrees
In a triangle a segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side is called?
The hypotenuse. It is used to measure height. Very simple equation.
Can a triangle have two perpendicular sides?
Yes. If it is a right triangle, the angle opposite the hypotenuse will be right, 90o, therefore if the lines forming the angle were to continue, they would be perpendicular. What's the question?
What is the legs of a right triangle?
The 2 sides perpendicular to its right angle
What is the name of the point at which all of the triangle's perpendicular bisectors intersect?
Circumcenter, this is the center-point of a circle circumscribed around the triangle. If the triangle is obtuse, then this point is outside the triangle and if the triangle is a right triangle, then the point is the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
What are the perpendicular sides of a right triangle called?
The perpendicular sides of a right triangle are its legs. The remaining side is the hypotenuse.
Does obtuse triangles have perpendicular sides?
No but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides and an hypotenuse.
What is the area of a perpendicular triangle?
I do believe you mean RIGHT triangle when you said perpendicular triangle. A right triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle is 1/2 * (first leg) * (second leg) How do you determine which ones are the legs and which one is the hypotenuse? The hypotenuse is ALWAYS the largest number. So, choose the 2 smallest numbers.
Where can the perpendicular bisectors of the side of a right triangle intersect?
Only at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle has a length of 17cm The sum of the length of its perpendicular sides is 23cm What are the lengths of the perpendicular sides?
28.611
Why the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is always positive?
Because it is the sum of square of base and perpendicular

The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
